Takeuchi Mfg UK Ltd is best known for its extensive range of mini excavators. Worldwide, Takeuchi’s tracked loaders are popular for versatility and often regarded as one of the most powerful tool carriers on the market. To help enhance and develop the growing demand for tracked loaders Takeuchi have turned to Westquay Trading and appointed them as the new regional dealer for the North of England and the whole of Eire for the four model range of TL machines.

Westquay Trading has developed a successful attachment business across the UK and Eire especially for specialist applications. They have developed a superb range of machines accessories and utility tools with leading brands including; Simex, Tesmec and Kennemetal Wear Parts. Meeting the demand for specialist tools Westquay have introduced new application tools geared for specific applications; Road Construction/Maintenance - White line removal road textures and road reinstatement. Quarrying – Tesmec (Rockhawg) machines for “surface mining”

• Utilities – Tesmec trenching large scale pipeline projects, Simex attachments for streetworks, rail and utilities applications, In waste handling – crushing waste materials on construction sites, recycling and reprocessing of waste materials deposited at landfill.

Getting on board with Takeuchi is seen as a perfect combination for Westquay. Garry Adey Commercial Manager -

“Westquay have 3 market leading products in our portfolio. Takeuchi as a market leading brand was seen the obvious choice to assist in the marketing of the Simex range. A combination of high quality tool carrier and attachment gives customers the total package” At Westquay high specification attachments rely on the prime movers ability. Smooth hydraulics combined with hi-flow options, easy fittings, good power to weight ratios and good operating capacity allows attachments to perform to their maximum.

Takeuchi’s have a proven reputation as powerful tool carriers capable of carrying a variety of heavy weight attachments such as high depth planers, crusher buckets, rockwheels and compactors. With a powerful operating capacity up to 5000kg TL’s weigh in larger than the average skid steer - wider tracks and good counter balance mean operators work comfortably. Rugged machine design and well protected hydraulics makes it strong enough for even the largest attachments “Many customers rely on our recommendation for the total package and want to be sure of high performance from a range of attachments – so the partnership makes sense. Very often when demonstrating our attachments we used a Takeuchi TL and it proved its versatility with a range of Westquay Trading products. Therefore the decision to add the Takeuchi brand was easy”. Garry Adey

For contractors and plant hire companies looking for new machines for specialist applications or new business opportunities, then the Westquay package is worth taking a good look at “Combine a Takeuchi TL with any one of Westquay’s hydraulic tools and a whole variety of industries open up. Attachments such as; crusher buckets, planers, scarifiers, compaction wheels and compaction plates provide good alternatives. Giving operators new solutions to save time and do multiple jobs with one machine saves costs, time, transport, labour and efficiency on site. It also gives the contractor green options in recycling project spoil and waste, thus contributing to environmental sustainability on site”
